    Italy, Trentino Alto-Adige / Veneto, Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT

    Average and in a way dissapointing, especially vs the hype and the price. Good body but relatively simple. Drink now

Flight 2 - Zelendria (1 Note)

  • 2007 Foradori Granato 90 Points

    Italy, Trentino Alto-Adige / Veneto, Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT

    (2/4/2011)

    Young but forward and with some decanting can be enjoyed now. Lots of fruit and density. Mild on the nose although having it at Zeledria on the slopes of Madonna di Campilio doesn't make for ideala tasting note location

Flight 3 - Hermitage (2 Notes)

  • 2006 Donnafugata Mille e una notte 87 Points

    Italy, Sicily, Contessa Entellina

    (2/4/2011)

    At the Hermotage hotel in Madonna di Campilio.
    Young and not integrated. Lots of fruit at the moment but lacks balance and presence. Hopefully time will help but at the moment 87- 88 maybe less

    A superb example. Big open with a full and long nose. on the palate it is elegant and full bodied with well integrated tannins and a great finish. We really loved this wine and is one to look for. 93+

Flight 4 - Chalet Fiat (2 Notes)

Flight 5 - Hotel Bertelli (3 Notes)

  • 2004 Gaja Langhe Chardonnay Gaia & Rey 95 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    (2/5/2011)

    Would suggest decanting this wine at this stage as it evolved nicely in the glass and smoothed out vs the first taste.
    Lots of vanilla, oak, on the nose. Dense wine, lots of presence on the palate and its one to try to understand. This , we agree with the comment below, is one of the best chardonnay's around. Superb and it can easily last 5yrs plus and it will continue to improve. 95+

  • 1999 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 93 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    (2/5/2011)

    Decanted for 30 mins and for sure this wine is still on the young side. Big but not overpowering wine with lot of presence and nice cherry tones on the nose. Very enjoyable.

  • 1999 Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra 91 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    (2/5/2011)

    Not a big fan of this modern expression of barolo. Decanted it for 30 minutes. Lots of herbal notes, mint on the nose. Dense with good finish but not our style. Preferred the 99 Sandrone to this.
